Parents

Welcome to this section of the website. It will provide you with all of the information you require on a day to day basis as a parent, from the latest documents, to forms and other information about the regular life of the school. We are keen that parents feel welcome in school and value the time and energy parents are able to give as volunteer helpers.

We have an ‘open door’ policy with daily contact with all parents. There is a parent’s noticeboard in the playground and KS1 parent’s waiting area which is updated frequently.

Parents are invited to a variety of events through the school year. Newsletters are sent home every Monday to inform you of key events, school life and general information.

Attendance

Parents are key partners in helping and supporting their children’s learning. A basic responsibility in this is to ensure your child attends school regularly and arrives on time. In this way, your child’s opportunity for success is maximised, by allowing him/her to keep up with the pace of learning and progress planned by the school. Trying to catch up through extra written tasks at home is not as effective as the direct teaching provided in class! Feeling ‘left behind’ in schoolwork also destroys a child’s self – confidence, which further hinders progress and success. Everyone wants the very best for their children. However, the school can only fulfil its side of the partnership when children are in school.

This information is designed to provide parents with important information about their role and legal responsibility in relation to their child’s regular attendance.
